Stocks Market Today: Sensex And Nifty Set for a Positive Start- Will Bulls Keep the Momentum?
The Indian stock market is expected to open on a positive note on Monday, tracking strong global market trends after the Supreme Court of the United States invalidated sweeping tariff regulations. However, market sentiment remains active and cautious as traders monitor fresh developments after Donald Trump introduced additional tariff changes.
Gift Nifty indicates a gap-up opening, trading near the 25,750 level- around 160 points above the previous Nifty futures close. This early trend reflects bullish sentiment heading into the session.

Key Events That Will Trigger The Stock Market Today
Trump Tariffs Developments
A legal decision reshaped market sentiment and triggered fresh policy action. The US Supreme Court declared the previous tariff regulations unconstitutional, creating a brief phase of stability in global trade. However, the relief was short-lived as Donald Trump invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose temporary global tariffs, later raising them to 15%. This situation continues to keep investors uncertain as they balance legal outcomes with unpredictable policy shifts. The message for traders is clear: watch for opportunities while staying alert to major macroeconomic developments.
US–Iran Diplomatic Signals
New diplomatic signals between the United States and Iran have softened global risk sentiment. Expectations of renewed negotiations and possible sanctions relief boosted optimism in commodity markets, particularly crude oil, where prices reacted to the prospect of improved supply conditions. Although no formal agreement has been reached yet, even early signs of dialogue are influencing market mood. Investors continue to track developments closely, as diplomatic progress often translates quickly into market price movements.
Domestic Stock Market Trigger
RBI Holds Steady, Markets Take Comfort
The Reserve Bank of India has maintained its current policy stance, and markets have responded positively. The minutes of the Reserve Bank of India’s recent monetary policy meeting indicated that domestic growth remains strong while inflation stays within comfortable levels, strengthening confidence in the existing policy framework. Steady interest rates help maintain a stable macroeconomic environment, which investors view as reassuring, thereby supporting positive sentiment in the Indian stock market.
